[QUOTE="rod, post: 1921505, member: 5382"] I was watching "Vietnam in HD" on TV yesterday and one statistic they showed was that in WWII the average infantry troop only had 10 actual days of combat per year but in Vietnam the infantry troop had 260+ days. Amazing. Another sad fact is that there were slightly over 2 and a half million people who actually served in Vietnam but now days they estimate that 6 million [B]say they did[/B]. My brother in law is the commander of our local VFW and he says there are always drifters coming through town who stop into the VFW and are looking for a free meal, free room or a free bus ticket. He says its so bad that he has had to resort to asking them for proof they served (not just over seas but in the military period. If they don't have any he then will give them the option of him calling the local Veterans Service Officer for proof. He says most of them just walk out because they know they are lying. [/QUOTE]
